TALKED TO A STANDSTILL,
A Butte Doctor Beats Professor
FOrd,s Record.

FOrd's Record.
The Butte Mining Journal tells the fol-
lowing story of DR.. Bishop, a radical
thinker who recently fell into converse
ton with Mormon in this city:
This was an opportunity the irate
doctor could not lose. 1t was just what
he was aching for, and fate and the
mans foolish temerity had played into
his hands. Grasping the collar of the
mans coat, he made this novel PROPOSE
ton: eff you are a genuine Mormon 1
will give you dollar to let me talk to
you an hour" at is a bargain, :"
was the response, the dollar was
handed over and the pair, together with
several others who had been attracted to
the spot, repaired within a convenient
door, and the fun begun. The doctor
opened the walls of his wrath; he was
wound up for an hour and no mistake.
The efforts OF the capper for
thimbl rig, the lecturer for the side
show or the seller of tickets for
the concert after the circus were
all as child's play to the
flood of eloquent invective that was
showered upon the victim. At the end
of fifteen minutes the doctor was still in
shape but the man was tired. He tried
to speak, but was prevented with the
reminder that he was not to talk, but be
talked to. In desperation he offered to
return the money and the offer was vetoed
by the crowd, who insisted that he
should carry out the bargain. As con-
sequence, he stood and listened to an ar
raignment of the doctrine such as was
never before made in Utah and will
hardly be repeated, for if the doctor for
got anything mean that he could have
said he regrets it. Finally time was
up, and the man started briskly for the
door, followed by his tormentor, who
concluded a parting shot as his victim
around the corner, and then re-
turned to the audience with the remark
81 don't think I ever got SO much salts
faction out of dollar in my life." "The
other fellow can't say as much" quietly
suggested bystander, and the curtain
was dropped.

StOcktOn's Mines,

Stockton is now fast coming to the
front. Large bodies of ore are being
found in nearly all the leading mines.
Over 800 miners are now employed in
that district. The Honerine mine which
is making regular shipments, has large
ore bodies exposed on the I'd, Sd, 4th,
9Th, 9th and 9TH levels. The two Silver
King mines are still working on rich
ore and are likely to be doing
the same thing in years to come.
The ore bodies in these mines. instead
OF being exhausted by the continued ex-
traction, are merely becoming developed.
The Keystone and Cygnet are also going
to figure in the salvation OF Utah. They
both have more ore in sight and brighter
prospects at present than ever before. In
the history OF this camp, it will be noted
that the grade of the ore ex-
tracted has not been very high,
the average, not to exceed seventy-five
ounces silver. Judging from the average
in the Black Diamond, the future aver
age will largely exceed that of the past.
The ore in this mine is now varying from

The committee met at Governor
Vests quarters last evening and adopted

ton:
"Well knowing the necessity for the pros
perity of Utah and for the city of Salt Lake,
for the purpose of stimulating the COM
MERGE of this Territory, to promote its

growing and mining interests, its banking
and brokerage, it manufactures and arts,
its stock and wool growing Strengthening
and packing interests, its architecture and
public improvements, its commercial educa-
ton, and to disseminate information as to
its wonderful natural resources. To organ
ize and provide for bureau of statistics

trate differences and disputes, to promote

ests OF our commerce, and for representa-

$50 to 800 ounces silver. There is sale
pending between st. Louis company
and the No-You-Don't, which is hang
ing on a difference of $4,000.
The st. Louis Company offer 5000, and
the owners are holding out for &c. OO
The transfer, though, will no doubt be
made, and for the latter figures. The St.
Louis Company are too well aware of the
future for Stockton to allow the oppor-
tunity to pass.
New locations are continually being
made. DIR. Bredemeyer has just returned
from Stockton, where he has been making
some extensive surveys. He says that
Stockton alone, in two years hence, will
be sufficient to make things boom here.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
The Day I'm the Third District
Court.

The Day I'm the IniF0 AAstEAOS
The case OF John A. Groesbeck vs..
Geo. A. Meears, in which so much in
terest has been shown, was called in the
Third District Court to-day. This case
has come into prominence principally
from the fact that it was out of matter
connected with it that the Meears-Dick-
Mckay trouble arose, resulting in
the yist of Special Agent Fischer.
The matter now under discussion is a
suit of ejectment against Meears as pro-
prietor of the Mono mine. 1t appears
that in 1884 Meears made a contract as
trustee of the Morgan Mining Company
in relation to the Morgan group of mines.
Later on, the Mono mine was located by
one OF the members of the above COM
pany. Meears claims control of the
Mono from the fact that it is contiguous
to the other mines of the group and from
the fact that it was located by member
of the Morgan company. The other side
claim that the Mono was not included in
the contract, and Groesbeck, as trustee
of the mine, wants to eject Meears.
The defense is fighting for continu-
ance of the case and the plaintiff is op-
posing this strenuously.
In the case of VIM. Grim vs.. A. J.
White ct al, judgment was rendered by
default.

LAST NIGHTS ROW.
Turner to be Sentenced TO.MOrrOW
Morning.

Al. Turner, who was arrested last even
ing on charge of disturbing the peace,
was tried at the Police Court to-day. The
evidence given by the young lady was to
the effect that she was accosted by the
defendant last night at about 10 o'clock,
and told by him not to advance
another step, that he intended
to kill her, and at the same
time he made an attempt to catch her
with one hand and get knife out of his
coat pocket with the other. This evil
dence was confirmed by the fact that a
knife was found in the pocket indicated,
and that when help came it was still in
that pocket. 1t was found written in his
pocketbook, that he intended to kill her,
and that he also expected to hang for the
offense. The defendant on being sworn
stated that he knew nothing of the
charge, and that all he remembered of
yesterday was that he was drunk. SEN
tence in the case was postponed until to-
morrow morning at 10 O'Clock.
